Abstract

1,152,835. Semi - conductor transducers. WESTERN ELECTRIC CO. Inc. 23 June, 1966 [28 June, 1965], No. 28136/66. Heading H4J. [Also in Division H1] An electromechanical transducer comprises a semi-conductor crystal 10 having a dielectric constant at the device operating temperature in the range 100-1000, provided with electrodes 11, 12, and containing a rectifying barrier between one electrode 11 and the body 10. Pressure transmission means, e.g. a stylus 13 pressing on the electrode 11, are provided to apply pressure changes to the crystal and thereby to vary the impedance across the rectifying barrier, or to receive pressure changes from the crystal. The preferred form comprises a ferro-electric crystal 10 of the perovskite class, e.g. KTaO 3 or KTa x Nb 1-x O 3 , having a rectifying gold or platinum electrode 11 vacuum deposited on a freshly cleaned surface thereof, and an ohmic electrode 12 provided by vapour deposition of, e.g. chromium, aluminium or titanium. A gold film overlay may be formed on the electrode 12. Preferred crystal conductivity and dimensions and electrode thickness are given. Such a device may be included in the microphone of a telephone receiver, in which case the stylus is connected to a pressure-sensitive diaphragm. The crystal may either be mounted on a second diaphragm within the microphone to minimize the risk of damage by shock, or may be mounted on a metal cantilever support (21), Fig. 2 (not shown), insulated from the casing (23) by a block (22). A screw (26) urges the support (21) upwardly to provide a preset pressure bias between the stylus (25) and the crystal. The device may alternatively operate within a loud-speaker, variations of voltage across the rectifying barrier leading to pressure changes which may be transmitted to a diaphragm through a stylus.
